Volcano Voices, a cost-effective tool to collect and share narratives on the environment. An example from Chaitén, Chile
This paper details the development and implementation of Volcano Voices , an interactive mapping methodology designed to collect environmental data and disseminate research findings ethically within communities affected by natural hazards. It focuses on Voces de Chaitén , a case study in Chaitén, Chile, as part of a broader effort to memorialise past disasters in the territory and to raise awareness of geological hazards. The methodology involves…
Critical geographies of disaster, and the geographical imagination
This paper combines assemblage theory, feminist ethics of care and decolonial theory to build on recent work in disaster studies that seeks to address the systematic and intersectional inequalities that underlie the emergence of disaster. We argue that Western logics of “risk” do not always have traction with communities, and so researchers must “stay with the trouble” in engaging with tensions between lifeworlds. We suggest that geographical ima…
Contrasting memories and imaginaries of Lonquimay volcano, Chile
Lonquimay is ranked as the 12th most dangerous volcano in Chile. Several settlements are located within 20 km with a diverse mix of residents and livelihoods. Conservation areas and a growing tourist economy sit alongside Indigenous groups and farming. These residents have varied ways of knowing volcanoes and volcanic landscapes; this knowledge is generated through lived experience, memories, and collectively held imaginaries. This paper presents…
Extreme heat, gender, and access to preparedness measures
Heatwaves are predicted to become more intense worldwide, posing a serious threat to health and development, and necessitating adaptation, such as the development of early warning systems (EWS). India is particularly exposed, with recent heatwaves demonstrating significant vulnerabilities. This research examines the case of Ahmedabad, India, which created South Asia's first Heat Action Plan (HAP) in 2013. Ahmedabad's HAP provides a framework for …
Interdisciplinary research in hazards and disaster risk
This Progress Report reviews the geographical literature concerning environmental hazards and risk focussing particularly on areas that require and enhance interdisciplinary working between human and physical geographers. Although there are still substantial gaps between disciplinary siloes, there is a growing recognition that critical interdisciplinary work is vital. Key areas include early warning, urban planning, hazard and risk mapping, scien…
"Understanding "Islandness
Islandness is a contested concept, not just between disciplines but also cultures, entangled with what islands, \nisland studies, and island identity are understood to be. The purpose of this article is to explore some of these \ndifferent meanings, without necessarily unifying or reconciling them, with the aim of keeping multiple \nunderstandings of islandness in creative tension. We begin by considering islandness as smallness, recognizing \nth…
Who could have expected such a disaster?’ How responses to the 1892 cyclone determined institutional trajectories of vulnerability in Mauritius
Werewolves and warning signs
The role that culture plays in the way different groups experience, respond to, and recover from disasters has been widely discussed. Yet, while there is a considerable (and growing) literature of case study evidence for the need to account for culture in disasters, comparatively few studies take a long-term perspective on cultural interactions with disasters, resulting in a lack of exploration into the diachronic nature of these cultural respons…

Small island perspectives on climate change
Islands and islanders are often misrepresented in the climate change discourse, oversimplifying their experiences and interactions with climate change. In reality, islands and islanders have far more complex relationships with climate change. This special thematic section presents eight papers that highlight local responses and localized impacts of climate change on islands, reiterating the importance of considering local community perspectives i…
Ayni, Ayllu, Yanantin and Chanincha
There is a critical need for effective and sustained adaptation to the effects of climate change for indigenous peoples. Despite this, adaptation policies often neglect the cultural values that we show to be crucial to their ability to respond, and instead prioritise instrumental and scientific framings of climate change.Rural communities in the Peruvian Andes are already feeling the negative impacts of climate change, further impacts are expecte…
